Aglnneo at the men composing the
VoitlivM-it Texas Live Flock Aspo-
rtation and the visitors hi at-
iciuhiii'i' upon the convention
llI morning gave a fair ex-
ample of the wonderful growth of the
dhle Industry In this great 8tato and
the in u of nerve and brnin who have
been in every sense the architects of
their own fortunes. .Strong self-reliant
and energetic nicy grappled Willi tlie
question how to make remunerative
ine immune wastes of prairie in this
portion of Texas and the splendid stie-
(t.s whk'h has crowned their iflur(.M Is
no more than every cattleman with
the brain lo phut and the courage to
undertake such a w nrk deserves. There
were more than Siu.OdO.OOO of capital
repiesenled by the members of the
association and this immense muu Is
iiisltrnilleent compared to the results
vhieh await the extension and im-
provement of the cattle busl-nc-s
under the fostering care
of the onninl.ition. A body of res
olute and capable men representing so
naicli eapilnl and bound together by
tlesof common interest can ao foster
anil protect one another that each suc-
ceeding' year will see millions added to
the wealth of the cattlemen of north-
west Texas while at the samo time
elevating tin' whole country. Tho cat-
tlemen of ''exas are to the state what
the primus of the realm are to mon-
archies and the history of her ad-
vancement and glory would be incoin-
plcti without a chapter for each of the
heroes who by Indoinnltablo pluck and
force of character have set In motion
mi interest that will con-
tinue to spiead and grow and
kcup pace side by side with
the state in her march toward the
front rank In point of wealth power
and civilization.
And In this great work tho North-
cast Texas Live Flock Association will
lieu prime fa e tor. Organized under
the shadow of an oak tree in the
midst or a boundless prairie tho &ecda
there now n by tho sturdy ranchers
who had gathered for mutual protec-
tion have taken root and grown and
brought forth trult golden fruit to
the c.dthniui In a largely increased
advance in the price of cattle and
honor to tho a ssoeiation In that it
commands respect and admiration
from all and Is tho synonym of power
uud justice in every martin tho land.
No spUlt of adhlaliou prompts (he
Gazkttk to thus write of tho asso-
ciation but a senso of the truth of
what is said and a doire to "render
nato Ciesur the things which are
demur's;" to publish to tho world the
great goo-i that has been done
the greatest industry of Texas by this
organization and to stimulate tho fur-
ther development and iucteascof the
leading Interest of the greatest state
In the union. The members of the
Northwest Texas Live Stock Associa-
tion are congratulated on tho progress
they have made and tlfrhonor which
Is theirs alone tho respect and confi-
dence of tho entire world and tho
amelioration and elevntidm of the cattle
business In Texas. In the words of
Mayor Smith "tho cowboy of Texas
is the noblest specimen of mankind."
An nonr before tne time set tor meet-
ing of the convention the district court
room was crowded and after the band
had played one or two airs In front of
the building the eiowd increased until
It was almost impossible to gain ad-
mission. Tho members of the associa-
tion as nuichns possible aru prnvtdtd
seats inside the railing but there were
soinuny present it was impossible to
obtain seats for them all. The .specta-
tors icmalned thioiighout the day
and manifested tho deepest interest in
all the proceedings. There is an im-
mense crowd in tho city and all agree
that so far this Is the most successful
meeting of the association. Fort
Worth realizes that tho cattlemen ure
her honored guest and Is sparing no
. pains to make their stay a pleasant
( one.
't And the cattlemen well they seem
S to bo having a good time. Foveial
f dealers in lino stock had their animals
r on exhibition on tho streets yesterday
I evenimr. and of course the true stook-
l man cannot be better pleased than
' when he has tho opportunity of feast-
ing his eyes on good blood either in
i' horse or cow.
Tho largo number of capitalists and
business men from Chicago Ft. Louis
and other cities hero indicates Hits in-
terest tho outer world feels in the do-
ings of the association and is a natter-
ing tribute to its importance in the

approved.
The reading of the constitution and
by-laws was dispensed with.
lti:t'OHTj Ol' CTXMITTHliS.
Tlic president from the speelal com-
mittee on incorporation asked further
time.
Mr. J. N. Rlrnpson otlered tho Ibl-
lowing rojolution and prefaced itsln-
miuueuoii uy saying tiiere was a great
need or organization and this iwsoela-
tion was the result and Its elleets had
been visible ever since. He believed
the time had come when the associa
tion did not meet nil the demands of l
tnegiowiiig cattle business. Ie believed
reorganization neees-mry in order
to check theft and tho Illegal handling
of cattle. He was ashamed that such
Is the case but tho illegal handling
and theft of cattle Is on the Increase.
He therefore. "moved that an amend-
ment to the constitution of tho associa-
tion bo made so as to allow the associa-
tion to nnpoint inspection agents at
Kansas City Ft. Louis Doan's store
and other jwliits to watch the interests
of the cattlemen. This would require
money un(Ltho association should bo
reorganized.
Col. C. C. Slaughter thought tho
protection of cut lieu matter of great
Interest. Ho agreed with Mr. .Simp-
son. The association needs les laws
and more money. This association is
regarded as one of tho strongest
in tho country and the
slandlig it lias gives con-
fidence to all who deal within Its
bounds. The first meetingof the asso-
ciation was held under an oak trco on
Dillingham prairie. Tho constitution
and laws there adopted were strong
like an old Texas homo-mado chair a
little rough but thoy are bcglnnlui.1; to
wear a little. WhaV we want is some-
thing to meet the demands of a grow-
ing and increasing business. What
we want now Istornisoa fund sulll-
cient to put men in the Held that will
protect our stock. As a member of
this association I am in favor of reor-
ganization. T am in favor of a tax on
tho stock belonging to tho members of
thensoclatlon to raise a fund to em-
ploy the very best inspect-
ors to examine tho herds of tho coun-
try. We want men to examine not only
the beef cattle but t travel through
tho herds and watch out for tho
marks of the "dotting iron." An ex-
pert hand with a "dotting lion" can
change a brand so the original owner
would swear it Mas hot his brand.
He wanted this association bo organ-
ized that no man who runs a dotting
Iron can belong to It or be tolerated in
the country lie wanted a tax levied
so each member could Ho down at
homo and feel his Interests were being
caicd for. Put enough men and enough
money around cattle and you protect
them. Applause.
T I). Andrews said no was not a
member of tho association but If there
is a man In Texas who feels a deeper
or mote abiding interest in
their welfare than himself It was be-
cause he weighed more or had more
Inches. Ho hoped tho cattlemen
would laKo sonic steps to protect them-
selves fiom tho ravages of thieves.
He had only ten minutes ago heard a
cattleman say ho was paying $loi) a
mouth to have the ranges south of hl
ranch wutcht d in order to ktep his
cattle from being driven off. lie
would have tho association become so
great that tho thief would look with
fear upon It feeling that It was pow-
erful for Its own preservation. Any
thing he could do if only the widow's
tulle.
to lorward tne interests 01 tne
as-
soci.uion no
fAnnlause.l
would cheerfully
do.
Mr. .f. N. Flmpson then offered his
resolution:
"Itesolved. That a committee of
live be appointed to draft a
new constitution and by-laws."
Col. C. C. Slaughter moved to
amend by inserting nine. Mr. Simp-
son accepted the amendment.
Mr. .Ino. C. Loving asked if that
resolution meant reorganization; Mr.
Flmpson replied that it did.
Mr. Loving said ho would then or
to amend by inorting the word "reor-
ganize" In tho resolution.
Col. Slaughter explained the con-
stitution and by-laws prepared by Hie
committee under the resolution would
be refericd back to the association for
acceptance or rejection.
Mr. Loving wlthdicw his amend-
ment and the resolution as amended
